Why you shouldn't "just" breathe!

Motivational Monday – don’t take ANYTHING for granted

The current situation sees us hoping we don’t catch the virus and struggle to breathe. Our lungs breathe automatically for us day after day, thousands of times. The muscles work, we exchange CO2 for O2 without giving it a thought. We take breathing for granted.

Just like many other things in life, we assume it will always be okay. Try to pay better attention to everything. Even including breathing. Try to take a moment to listen to your breaths and feel them, deep within your body. See how amazing it feels.

This video was inspired by Oprah when she spoke about growing up and being poor, but she knew somehow there was something better. I believed there was nothing better. Until I discovered there was. To go through the journey of the negative thinking pattern allowed me to become who I am and tell those stories to inspire others.

Let me tell you, there is always something better, always room to improve areas of your life. What is it you want to go for?

Try writing it down, see what flows.

In the same way you have taken breathing for granted, start to pay attention to other things and see what happens when you notice the good in certain things.
